Our Faith into Action

Let your lives speak – George Fox (1624-1691)

As Quakers, we seek spiritual guidance to help build a more peaceful, just and sustainable world. We expect our religious life and all that issues from it — action, speaking, writing, witnessing — to be centered in a personal experience of the Light within.

West Falmouth Meeting members let their lives speak in the community in many different ways.  For example, members take action by –

  • Standing out in public places in witness to Peace, Justice, Equality
  • Leading Community Circles, to deepen listening skills; used for peacemaking, community building, problem solving and communicating across divides
  • Writing Letters to the Editor & call elected officials to raise awareness and urge action
  • Growing vegetables & partnering with our local food bank to provide fresh and healthy nutrition
  • Advocating for gun safety & the prevention of gun violence, through education and legislation (local, state and national)
  • Supporting our town-wide No Place for Hate ethic to promote respect for all people
  • Revitalizing the Falmouth High School Model UN Club
  • Strengthening our community by sharing our gifts of talent in the visual arts, creative writing, musicianship, teaching, pastoral care, and preparing delicious soups.

Our quarterly Sunday Forum series hosts speakers on vital issues. The programs take place on Zoom, and many of these programs are recorded. To view previous programs, go to: www.youtube.com/@westfalmouthquakers

The Falmouth Interfaith Clergy Association, in which Meeting is an active participant, unites our communities of faith to address local concerns, such as food and housing insecurity, racial discrimination, and immigrant rights.

West Falmouth Meeting maintains an historic and lasting relationship with the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe.

We support and work with national and international Quaker groups:
